NS4176 : Covered reservoir at Garshake
taken 15 years ago, near to Bellsmyre, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland
Covered reservoir at Garshake
The reservoir (compare NS4081 : Top of covered reservoir) is in a field just to the east of NS4176 : Garshake Water Works. The trees in the middle distance are in the glen of NS4176 : The Garshake Burn. Part of the Lang Craigs, the escarpment of the Kilpatrick Hills, can be seen in the background: NS4376 : The Long Crags.
Garshake Water Works
An Act of 1857 empowered Dumbarton Town Council to abstract water from the Overtoun Burn and to construct reservoirs at Garshake and the Black Linn. Further works, associated with the abstraction of water from Loch Lomond, were completed in 1960. A filter station, built on the Garshake site, was inaugurated in 1964.
